Nicole Scherzinger was a sight to see at the Hollywood premiere of the U.S. edition of Simon Cowell’s “The X Factor” at ArcLight Cinemas on Wednesday (Sept. 14). The former Pussycat Doll, who will release her solo debut Killer Love stateside on November 15, stunned in a backless silver Randi Rahm dress as she posed with her fellow judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and L.A. Reid.

Nicole had nothing but flattering things to say about working with the tough-talking Brit. “He’s my mate. He’s awesome, he’s inspiring, and I adore him. He’s really great and he’s a good boss. His energy just makes you want to be a better person,” she told “Showbiz 411.”
